No, the proposal is:

        "git push $there $commit:$name", when $name does not begin with
        refs/, is interpreted as "git push $there
        $commit:$prefix/$name", where $prefix is determined by resolving
        $commit and pulling off its first two directories.

(or maybe this should just be picky and DWIM only for refs/heads and refs/tags). So "git push v1.0" is the same as "git push v1.0:v1.0", which is the same as "git push refs/tags/v1.0:refs/tags/v1.0".
